Answer 1

Removing packages and re-installing (if you are not using npm ci) helped me.

1. Deleting packages

rm -rf ./node_modules ./package-lock.json

2. Re-installing packages

npm i 

3. Running the server

npm run dev

I found a solution to my problem. If you have an anti-virus, you need to uninstall it.

I myself, I had to uninstall SMADAV anti-virus.
